SIBI-P1 Translation H8045-47
he will annihilate them
| Morphological Notes | Hiphil imperfect, 3rd person masculine singular with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hiphil stem conveys causative action, meaning "to cause to be destroyed" or "to annihilate." The imperfect 3rd masculine singular with a 3rd masculine plural suffix yields "he will annihilate them," preserving both causation and the plural object. |
